SupplyOn connects reusable packaging processes from empties ordering and booking through account balancing, stock taking, and fee settlement across suppliers, plants, warehouses, and repair networks. ✓ Prevent container shortages ✓ Reduce manual coordination ✓ Control excess stock and container-related costs
Reusable packaging has to move between multiple partners while bookings, balances, physical stock, and fees remain aligned.
Reusable containers are critical to material flow, but ordering, bookings, stock information, reconciliation, and partner communication are often spread across spreadsheets and separate systems.
Missing containers can disrupt material supply
If the required packaging is not available at the right time, material supply and production can be put at risk.
Bookings and reconciliation create manual work
Manual bookings, missing confirmations, claims, and delayed reconciliation create recurring coordination effort between partners.
Limited transparency drives stock and cost problems
Without a consistent view of container stock and movements, unused containers, excess stock, wrong allocations, and fee disputes are harder to identify and resolve.
SupplyOn connects empties demand and ordering with bookings, partner alignment, account balancing, stock taking, and fee settlement.
Suppliers can request defined container types for specific relations and delivery dates. SupplyOn supports container rules including provision times, bundles, ownership logic, and quantity restrictions, and can generate empties order proposals based on material demand and packaging rules. Planners can review open orders and existing stock before deciding how requests should be fulfilled.
Create bookings manually, through external systems, or automatically from confirmed and standing orders. Confirmation and storno rules, claim handling, and exception-focused confirmation help partners resolve deviations without manually chasing every movement.
Monthly account balancing helps partners validate bookings close to the booking date. Global or focused stock taking supports physical validation and correction bookings, while usage-fee calculation applies defined stock and charging rules. Billing data can then be transferred to ERP systems for invoicing and payment tracking.

Secure production. Reduce process cost. Minimize inert capital in empties.
SupplyOn Empties Management is a digital process for managing reusable packaging and container flows across a supply network. It connects empties ordering, booking, partner alignment, account balancing, stock taking, and usage-fee settlement in one system.
Material suppliers can request defined container types and quantities for specific delivery dates and relations. SupplyOn can also generate empties order proposals based on material demand and packaging rules. Planners can review open orders, supplier stock, and fulfillment priorities before confirming, changing, partially fulfilling, or canceling requests.
Yes. SupplyOn supports customized empties order proposals based on material demand and packaging rules, connecting packaging requirements more closely with material demand.
Bookings can be created manually, transferred from external systems, or generated automatically from confirmed orders or standing orders. Confirmation, storno, claim, and exception-handling rules help keep bookings aligned between partners.
Account balancing reconciles container bookings over a defined period, typically monthly. Partners review the relevant bookings, raise claims for deviations, and close the balancing period with documented results and follow-up actions.
SupplyOn supports global or focused stock taking for selected relations or container types, including correction bookings. Usage-fee calculation uses stock levels and defined rules to determine billable quantities and exceptions, with billing data available for transfer to ERP systems.
